Do Anode Rays Travel in Straight Line?

Anode rays is a beam of positive ions that is created by ionization of gas in discharge tubes. ... These are also known as Canal rays. These rays are material particles which travel in a straight line. They can be deflected by external magnetic fields and they also affect the photographic plate.

Do cathode rays travel in straight lines?

Cathode rays are so named because they are emitted by the negative electrode, or cathode, in a vacuum tube. ... They travel in straight lines through the empty tube. The voltage applied between the electrodes accelerates these low mass particles to high velocities.

What direction does anode rays travel?

Anode ray tube

These rays are beams of particles moving in a direction opposite to the "cathode rays", which are streams of electrons which move toward the anode.
